Türkiye’deki Belediyelerin Çevresel Gelir ve Harcamalari: Kulüp Yakinsama Perspektifi

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 136 - 144, 30.12.2023

Abstract

Bir ülkedeki çevresel harcamalar ve gelirler, uzun vadeli kalkınma ve refahın temel ölçütleridir. Çevresel gelir ve harcamaların iller arasındaki dağılımı, uygulanan stratejilerin başarısını değerlendirmede kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışma, bu amaçla, belediyelerin çevresel harcamaları ile çevresel gelirlerinde yakınsamanın varlığını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu sebeple, Türkiye'nin 81 ilinde 2001-2016 yılları arası dönemi değerlendirmek için, Phillips ve Sul (2007) tarafından önerilen kulüp yakınsama analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, 81 il tek bir durağan duruma yakınsamamaktadır. Buna rağmen bulgular, belediyenin çevre harcamalarının, belediyenin çevre gelirlerinden daha homojen dağıldığını ortaya koymaktadır.

Environmental Revenue and Expenditure of Turkish Municipalities: A Perspective From Club Convergence

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 136 - 144, 30.12.2023

Abstract

Environmental expenditures and revenues in a country are key measures of long-term development and welfare. The distribution of environmental revenue and expenditure among provinces is critical in evaluating the success of strategies implemented. This study aims to investigate the existence of convergence in municipal environmental expenditures and environmental revenues for this purpose. To this end we employ a club convergence analysis proposed by Phillips and Sul (2007) for 81 provinces of Türkiye over the period between 2001 and 2016. Based on the findings, 81 provinces do not converge to a single steady-state. Despite this, the findings reveal that municipal environmental expenditures are more homogeneous than municipal environmental revenues.
